We combine all your eligible loans into one easy monthly payment with a fixed, manageable rate, giving you stability, clarity, and peace of mind.
More Americans Are Struggling with Student Debt:
Student debt has crossed $1.6 trillion as of late 2025, with over 43 million students carrying active balances. What does this mean? It clearly shows that many students are facing heavy debt pressure from multiple lenders, variable interest rates, and complex repayment terms.
Interest rates on new federal loans often range between 5.5% and 8.05% depending on the loan type and program year. When they are combined with private loans or missed payments, these debts can quickly become highly difficult to manage. So what’s the solution?
That’s why programs like student loan consolidation are becoming essential. They simplify your repayment, restore financial order, and open the door to flexible plans such as income-driven repayment and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).
What Is Student Loan Consolidation?
Student loan consolidation means combining multiple federal education loans into one new loan. This is called a Direct Consolidation Loan.
This helps you:
Replace multiple payments with one monthly bill.
Lock in a fixed interest rate (based on your loan averages).
Regain eligibility for repayment and forgiveness programs.
Student debt consolidation can also turn defaulted federal loans into an active repayment status. This helps students rebuild their credit scores and live more stress‑free.
Student Loan Consolidation Programs:
- Federal Direct Consolidation Program
Combine all eligible federal student loans into one new loan.
Get a fixed interest rate based on the weighted average of your loans.
Access repayment options like Income-Based Repayment (IBR) or PSLF eligibility.
Manage your entire debt with a single accredited servicer and a simple monthly plan.
This program is ideal for borrowers who struggle with multiple federal loans or are nearing repayment transitions. - Private Loan Consolidation Assistance
For borrowers holding both federal and private loans.
Works by finding you a trusted lender offering a lower rate (usually 6–10%) and flexible repayment terms.
Simplifies your monthly payment while potentially lowering your total interest costs.
Private student consolidation may require a credit check but it can help you save significantly. However, you may need to check if you qualify for a lower rate. - Graduate & Parent PLUS Loan Consolidation
Designed for graduate students and parents managing larger loan amounts or multiple accounts.
Combines eligible loans under one plan with extended repayment terms (up to 30 years).
Allows for consistent management and eligibility for forgiveness under qualifying programs.
